FEELIN LIKE CHARLIE BROWN

2009-12-12T23:48:00.003-06:00

so i got laid off today
after 5 months of attempting to be a normal working stiff

god doesnt want this for me clearly

he (she?) is trying to tell me something

maybe this isnt for me...

i havent neglected music . its the only thing that keeps me sane , but i have to be honest and say i havent put as much of myself into it as i should.

we all want to be secure , we all want to feel safe... we all want stability in our lives

and ladies and gentlemen none of that exist in the music business , not unless ur kanye west or somebody

and even then your future isnt promised..

im not gonna lie and say im not afraid
this shit is scary , not having a consistent income

the economy aint exactly peachy keen right now

i think ill be ok .....

send ur positive thoughts please and thank u

"you're a lot more broken then
most girls that i know " , thats what he said
thats right , its a lie , i do it all for show
lets not waste time talkin bout repairs
i need not to be fixed, guess thats the glitch
when strangers meet to kiss
and words slip from there lips
just close ur eyes and

dont tell me your name
frankly , dont care
we all look the same
when there's not light in here
i just want to be blind
i prefer not to see

any thing about u
and i will not show u me

2009-06-26T17:37:00.003-05:00

two years ago

i remember ...

staring at the sun
cuban sandwich shops
bell hooks
believing in drea smith
crayon colored mix cd's
your coffee and cigarettes
daily show when we got home ( back to your place)
late night conversations about everything
falling asleep next to u
waking up next to u
poetry
music
love
the first time we talked
the last time we talked
you trying to put me back together again
me being to broken to realize it
finally feeling understood
but
not being ready..

i hope u read this

love

THE DAY MY CHILDHOOD DIED....

2009-06-26T13:06:00.008-05:00

August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

one of my heroes died yesterday ,

i honestly feel like my childhood ended

i remember......

*trying to lean forward like the smooth criminal video

*moonwalkin in my socks

*wanting mj's outfit from the BAD video

*having to watch the making of thriller to not be afraid of it anymore

*wanting to ride the rollercoaster in leave me alon

*askin my mom can i wear a white t shirt and black pants for my 1st grade pic

*spending saturdays watching moonwalker and all of my mj music videos on vhs

*reenacting "the way you make me feel" with my cousin brandon ( he was michael and i was the girl he followed around.....we were 3)

* the day "remember the time " premiered

* trying to figure out which "diana" he was talkin about it

* trynna call mtv to win one of the guitars from the "scream " video

and sooo much more...

we miss you mike , thanks for leaving an amazing legacy

i leave you with one of my favorite performances of his :)

revelations

2009-05-27T04:57:00.003-05:00

i have been happy lately...

mainly because ive decided on being that way, but also because ive suppressed a lot ...

im on my way to letting go

pretending that things meant nothing

so that i can eventually get to something,

it's hard

on one hand i want my time back ..because it sucks when u know you gave something your all

but it even your all wasn't enough

on the other hand ive learned a lot..i guess

i will never.....

apologize for being myself

bite my tounge

put my personality on a leash

pretend to agree with things that i dont believe in

try to appear smaller to make someone else feel big

i wish the part where i become super numb

would just start

i have so many cool ideas

no moneys

sigh

ODE TO THE FUCKED UP AND BEAUTIFUL

2009-04-23T15:45:00.005-05:00

debbie

shirley

shingai

joan

siouxsie

karen

every since i was a little girl ive gravitated to the unconventionally beautiful.

i've always wanted to be a rockstar ( despite my brief stint as earth mother for 3 years of high school ....trying to prove how "black" i can be we'll tackle that another day)

ive loved "fucked up" looking things since i can remember

messy hair

tight pants

black liner

fuck you attitude

its just always made sense to me...dont think i've never gotten opposition

comb your hair girl

wtf you got on???

why can''t you be more.....girly??

lol...oh i did try at one point , but the shit just

does

not

work

for me. i think its dumb to label yourself something so im not gonna be ridiculous and title myself something , but this shit is old guys.

maybe im just in the wrong city

maybe i just know the wrong people....

ive only been in the industry for a little bit

and its fucked up man

there are only two things black female artist can be....

ridiculous air-brushed divas or

shoe-less spoken word earth mothers

thats how you get noticed.

where are the rockstars ? why is there no room?

blah blah blah.....i digress

im ranting again but the whole thing just makes me itchy and dizzy...

enjoy the pics

stay open minded people

MEET ME IN EULIPIA

2009-04-06T14:20:00.004-05:00

“Eulipians”—
writers, poets, musicians, painters,
and uncommon drunks—
those shade-tree philosophers who
contemplate the fungus within the
cracks of society;
Who dance with reckless abandon,
unfettered by formal inhibition,
through the presumptuous
speculation of the ages"
(Eric L. Wattree)

while in ny i met a bunch of really amazing people..one of which is my new pal D.Prosper....(ive deemed him king of the conspiracy theory, but i digress). one night we got into a discussion about inspiration and how it comes to me at the oddest hours of the night. he told me thats when i go to Eulipia.... im never the one to pretend i know all ,so i asked him to elaborate.

he told me about the jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Kirk said once in an interview that that was where he got his inspiration....
from Eulipia..
the place of inspiration where all artist rendezvous

4am is my Eulipia .

check out this song theme for the Elipions by Rahsaan Roland Kirk

then google him!!!

thanks D Pros

VIOLENTLY HAPPY

2009-04-02T01:29:00.003-05:00

tonight / day
is my last night in new york.. and while i am sad to leave ... i am looking forward to returning to chicago with my newfound appreciation for ...

life
art
music

well its not exactly newfound... ive always been in love with the 3 , but i found myself loathing them . the way theyve been abused you know.

today marks the

return of drea's inner hippie

everything is great man...

and i love it all.... i realized that life is indeed beautiful with its cracks and flaws... and im glad i remembered that in time..before the good ol' jaded monster came along and gobbled me up. :)

oh dont worry .. i am not hanging up my hat

im still a smart ass :)

but im happy with what the future holds for me , and i have complete faith in me...

finally

see you all when i touch down

peace and love

BLONDIE SONG OF THE WEEK # 3 "BEEEEE MINNNE ONLYYYY"

2009-04-01T22:00:00.003-05:00

its about that time again... another song by my all time favorite band.. there is no real music video for this song , so here you go a live performance ( i own this dvd btw ..soo good) .. i love the end of this song so u have to listen to the whole song. this one is called "youth nabbed as sniper" from the plastic letters album ( such a great album , such a dope cover pic)

Don't look in here, yeah
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his point twenty-two
Dirty metal in the speed of night, lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight, but you must wait and I must fight this nothingness
Walls, I see my little room
I hear my parent's friends
I hope that my actions make amends
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so high above the crowd
Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only

I can move us through the night, but you must wait and I must fight this emptiness
Black top burns with silent screams
Others stop my dreams
Lightning Crash! Crash! Crash!
Fear causes some to live, others die real cool
I died in the evening after school
Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own

i dont care if u get tired of debbie...i never will

LIFE'S A LAUGH WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT , THE WAY I GIVE ALL I HAVE TO GIVE

2009-03-31T22:37:00.003-05:00

SPRING IS IN THE AIR...ITS A TIME FOR NEW BEGGININGS...NEW LOVE...NEW ENDEAVORS. THAT BEIN SAID IVE NOTICED EVERYONE AROUND ME CLOSING CHAPTERS ON RELATIONSHIPS ( WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT) ITS LIKE A FRICKIN PLAGUE THATS HIT ALL OF MY FRIENDS...

SO HERE U GO GIRLS ( AND GUYS) A BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT HELPED ME :) ITS SAD BUT ITS HONEST

( SORRY ITS JUST A TRACK NO VIDEO)

Martina Topley-Bird "ilya"

Tell you baby
I've been waiting
For so long
I want it over
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating
Placenta fed
Get out of my head
Life's a laugh
When you complain about
The way that I give
All I have to give
You say you want more:
You can't sustain without
You wanna live
But you don't know how

Overthinking,
Smoking and drinking
You're in my head
It's time for bed
One word my lover
I can be hollow
When you say
Goin' away

Cut you in half
See how you feel without
I want you to live
But you don't know how
Am I gone?
I want to be reborn
Thought I was in love
Tell me was I wrong

You know we were wrong together

Ain't it funny, they say it's sunny
And come the cloud:
My inside out
Water bed
In my head
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating

They say it's fine
And then come the storm
No memory of ever feeling warm
I don't mind
The rain and such
But I miss the warm
The warm of your ....

You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
Together
Together
Together
Together
Together

THE LONGEST GOODBYE

2009-03-20T12:51:00.004-05:00

the longest goodbye
a kiss and a sigh...
so long we cant to this anymore
it all was a lie
no reason to fight for this
we cant do it anymore....

maybe its
better if
we both pretend
that we don't need each other

BLONDIE SONG OF THE WEEK #1 - "ONCE I HAD A LOVE AND IT WAS A GAS"

2009-03-17T15:17:00.005-05:00

if you know me, you know im a huuuge Blondie fan

....so i decided to do a weekly installment of

( cue drumroll)

BLONDIE SONG OF THE WEEK!!!!

i was gonna start with a more obscure song

but .........

this one is pretty autobiographical for me at the moment :)

"Heart Of Glass"

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out I had a heart of glass [radio version]
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass [album version]
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

gotta love some debbie harry

DEAR KAREN O

2009-03-17T12:12:00.001-05:00

they don't love you like i love you...

you wear black hair and red lipstick like none other

and your crazy woman sex goddess antics onstage make me question whether or not

i can be half the badass you are ( maybe one day? ....one day)

please continue to rock

love love love
